Why this check exists

A complete repair does not always erase the accident history.

A buyer may value a previously damaged vehicle differently even after repairs. The Texas Department of Insurance says an insurer may be obligated to pay a third-party claimant for loss of market value, and diminished value can also be included under uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.

Coverage depends on the facts and policy. A standard first-party collision claim is treated differently, so the pre-check asks who caused the accident and which coverage is involved.

Designed to screen

Potentially relevant situations

  • A Texas accident caused by another driver
  • A repaired or repairable vehicle, not a total loss
  • A possible uninsured or underinsured motorist claim
  • Concern about resale value after documented repairs

Outside this tool

Cases that need a different path

  • Total-loss valuation disputes
  • Bodily-injury or medical claims
  • Determining legal rights or filing deadlines
  • Guaranteed settlement or appraisal amounts
